黄土高原石油污染土壤微生物群落结构及其代谢特征 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
针对污染胁迫下土壤微生物群落变化和代谢变异等问题,基于平板稀释法和Biolog微平板分析方法,研究了陕北黄土高原石油污染土壤微生物群落结构、代谢特征及其功能多样性。结果表明,不同类群的土壤微生物对石油污染胁迫的响应不同,污染土壤细菌和真菌数量高出清洁土壤1个数量级,而污染土壤的放线菌数量极显著减少(P0.01);污染土壤和清洁土壤微生物对糖类和多聚物类碳源较易利用,污染土壤微生物总体上代谢碳源的种类和活性均低于清洁土壤。微生物群落主成分分析(PCA)表明,石油污染土壤和清洁土壤的微生物群落存在显著差异(P0.01),起分异作用的碳源主要为糖类,其次是羧酸类和氨基酸类;随着土壤石油含量增加,典型变量值变异(离散)增大,土壤微生物群落结构稳定性降低。微生物群落多样性分析表明,Shannon丰富度指数(H)、McIntosh均一度指数(U)和Simpson优势度指数(1/D)均达到极显著差异(P0.01),污染土壤微生物群落H和U低于清洁土壤,但是一定浓度的石油污染可以刺激土壤微生物群落中优势种群的生长,1/D增高。研究结果为陕北黄土高原石油污染区土壤微生物修复提供理论基础。 相似文献

Serum osmolalities and chloride concentrations were examined in polar cod. When exposed to oil male and female fish responded differently. Ingestion of food contaminated with oil led to a significant decrease in osmolality (from 503 to 492 mOsm kg− 1) in males. There was no significant effect of oil ingestion on serum osmolality in females, but chloride concentrations were increased (from 196 to 203 mmol kg− 1). Gender related responses should, therefore, be considered when assessing the possible effects of environmental pollutants on fish physiology. 相似文献

Two types of fat, represented by cod liver oil and lard, were added at various levels to the diet of rainbow trout. The food intake of the trout and their growth rate were measured. The results indicated that when cod liver oil was used as the fat supplement, the amount and the water temperature affected food intake and weight gain; fish fed on lard showed only a slight loss of appetite. 相似文献

In order to understand and apply DNA adduct formation in fish liver as a biomarker for aquatic pollution, information concerning the natural background levels in non-contaminated organisms, caused by endogenous compounds, is of fundamental importance. In this study, DNA adducts were analysed in liver of 11 fish species from arctic and sub-arctic areas in the northern Atlantic using the nuclease P1 version of the 32P-postlabelling technique. The collected fish were assumed not to have been influenced by anthropogenic pollution apart from possible long-range transported pollutants. As polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are thought to be fundamental in forming the type of DNA adducts detected by the method used, biliary PAH metabolite levels were measured in a selection of the investigated species. In all investigated individuals, the levels of PAH metabolites were undetectable. Controlled on-site exposure experiments with benzo[a]pyrene (polar cod) and laboratory experiments with crude oil (polar cod and Atlantic cod) were conducted. DNA adducts were formed in both these species. The field-sampled fish showed undetectable levels of DNA adducts or levels just above the detection limit. The present study supports the assumption that when DNA adducts are detected by the nuclease P1 version of the 32P-postlabelling method in fish liver, it can be interpreted as DNA damage caused by pollutants. 相似文献

Microbial communities associated with Arctic fjord ice polluted with petroleum oils were investigated in this study. A winter
field experiment was conducted in the Van Mijen Fjord (Svalbard) from February to June 2004, in which the ice was contaminated
with a North Sea paraffinic oil. Holes were drilled in the ice and oil samples frozen into the ice at the start of the experiment.
Samples, including cores of both oil-contaminated and clean ice, were collected from the field site 33, 74, and 112 days after
oil application. The sampled cores were separated into three sections and processed for microbiological and chemical analyses.
In the oil-contaminated cores, enumerations of total prokaryotic cells by fluorescence microscopy and colony-forming units
(CFU) counts of heterotrophic prokaryotes both showed stimulation of microbial growth, while concentrations of oil-degrading
prokaryotes remained at similar levels in contaminated and clean ice. Analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified
bacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) revealed that bacterial communities in
oil-contaminated ice generated fewer bands than communities in clean ice, although banding patterns changed both in contaminated
and clean ice during the experimental period. Microbial communities in unpolluted ice and in cores contaminated with the paraffinic
oil were examined by cloning and sequence analysis. In the contaminated cores, the communities became predominated by Gammaproteobacteria related to the genera Colwellia, Marinomonas, and Glaciecola, while clean ice included more heterogeneous populations. Chemical analysis of the oil-contaminated ice cores with determinations
of n-C17/Pristane and naphthalene/phenanthrene ratios indicated slow oil biodegradation in the ice, primarily in the deeper parts
of the ice with low hydrocarbon concentrations. 相似文献

Food search behaviour in cod, Gadus morhua, was studied by means of a stationary positioning system. Six fish in a fjord in northern Norway were tagged in situ by allowing them to shallow bait-wrapped acoustic tags, and their swimming behaviour was continuously recorded. The fish exhibited a diel activity rhythm, with higher swimming speeds and a larger range during the day than at night. Chemically mediated food search was studied in periods of both high and low activity by setting a string of baits in the morning and at night. During the period of high activity, more fish localized the baits (70 versus 45% of the observations) and the time to localization was 50% shorter, indicating that high swimming activity increased the probability of encountering the odour plume and the odour source. No diel variations in the response threshold to olfactory stimuli were found, as the proportion of fish in the odour plume that responded rheotactically, and their response distances were similar in the two periods (240 and 227 m respectively). Cod performed area-restricted searches on encountering the string of baits during the day. The probability of cod detecting prey by taste receptors, encountering the odour plume of prey or localizing a stationary food source after olfactory stimulation should be relatively independent of light, and this could explain why cod were active throughout the 24 h cycle. On the other hand, the visual detection distance and the ability to capture active prey are influenced by the light level, resulting in higher activity during the day. 相似文献

In the western Baltic Sea (WBS), whiting Merlangius merlangus is the main piscivorous fish together with cod Gadus morhua. In the present study, we investigate the growth and food consumption rates of WBS M. merlangus and compare the growth rates of males and females with those of M. merlangus in the North Sea (NS). Food consumption rates are estimated directly from sampled stomach contents in the WBS using a gastric evacuation rate model and indirectly by using a static energy‐budget model together with the growth rates. The results indicate that male and female M. merlangus in the WBS have similar feeding and growth strategies, while in the NS M. merlangus show more pronounced differences in food consumption and growth dynamics between the sexes. Female WBS M. merlangus grow significantly slower than their conspecifics in the NS, but there is no significant difference for males. Sexual size dimorphism is seen in both areas, but for M. merlangus in the WBS the difference is less pronounced. Food consumption rates in the WBS differ between seasons, with the lowest food intake in the first 2 quarters of the year and the highest in the 3rd quarter. No differences in consumption rates were seen between males and females, which could be related to the more similar growth pattern seen for M. merlangus in the WBS. 相似文献

Patch selection for cobbles covered by different food types, with and without deposited sediment, by two common New Zealand stream invertebrates, the snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae) and the mayfly Deleatidium sp. (Leptophlebiidae), was quantified. Each taxa was exposed to cobbles covered by (1) filamentous green algae (FGA) or diatoms, and (2) diatoms or heterotrophic biofilms. Two cobbles of each food type were used in each trial, one of which was contaminated by deposited sediment. All cobbles were embedded in plaster in small basins to prevent animals hiding under them, and a known number of animals placed into each basin. The location of each animal was recorded over time, with some observations being made during darkness to see whether this influenced animal movement. More Potamopyrgus were found on cobbles covered by FGA than cobbles covered by diatoms. Sediment-contaminated cobbles covered with FGA also supported more snails than uncontaminated cobbles covered with diatoms. More Potamopyrgus were found on cobbles covered by diatoms than biofilms, and sediment reduced their preference for both these foods. More Deleatidium nymphs were found on diatom-covered cobbles than FGA-covered cobbles. Sediment reduced the preference of Deleatidium for diatoms, but more animals were found on cobbles with sediment-contaminated diatoms than uncontaminated FGA. Patch selection was similar between cobbles covered by either diatoms or biofilms, but sediment reduced the preference of both these foods to Deleatidium. More Deleatidium were recorded on bare plaster during darkness, suggesting they were more mobile at night and searching for new habitats. These results help explain the common occurrence of Potamopyrgus in streams draining developed catchments where FGA blooms and deposited sediment are common, and of Deleatidium in streams draining less developed catchments where FGA and deposited sediment are uncommon. 相似文献

Synopsis Changes in the daily appetite and weekly growth rates of individual adult minnows,Phoxinus phoxinus, on ad libitum rations were recorded before and after they had experienced 4 or 16 days of food restriction. Feeding levels during the restriction periods were either starvation or a maintenance ration. The latter was estimated from a previously determined regression model. Water temperature was 15°C and the photoperiod 9L15D in all experiments. The mean weight of fish used ranged from 1.06 to 2.15 g. The 4 day restriction had no detectable effects on appetite or growth. After the 16 day restriction, the minnows showed hyperphagia and had increased specific growth rates and growth efficiencies compared with control fish. The compensatory increases in appetite and growth were not sustained and within three weeks had declined to levels not significantly different from those of the control fish. At the end of the experiments, there were no significant differences between the mean weights or cumulative food consumption of the restricted and control groups. The results suggest that adult minnows regulate their appetite and growth rate in relation to their previous nutritional history. 相似文献

Earthworm survival in oil contaminated soil 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Earthworms are an important component of the soil biota and their response to oil pollution needs to be better understood. Laboratory investigations were undertaken to determine the concentrations of crude oil in soil that leads to death of Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia fetida and to determine the propensity of L. terrestris to move away from contaminated soil. Clemville sandy clay loam was amended to contain maximum oil contents of 1.5 – 2.5% depending on the particular experiment. Additionally, the ability of L. terrestristo survive in bioremediated oil-contaminated soil was evaluated. An oil content of 0.5% was not harmful to survival of earthworms for 7 d but an oil concentration of 1.5% reduced survival to less than 40%. Bioremediated soil containing 1.2% oil did not reduce survival of L. terrestrisduring 10 d. Survival of L. terrestrisin unweathered oil was improved when free movement between contaminated and uncontaminated soil was possible. Casts of earthworms exposed to oil-containing soil contained 0.2% total petroleum hydrocarbons. An allowable regulatory level of 1% oil contamination in soil may not allow for survival of earthworms. 相似文献

Food selection in folivorous primates has been hypothesized to be correlated with leaf chemistry. To test this hypothesis,
we conducted a 5-month study on Presbytis entellusin a moist deciduous forest in the Rajaji National Park,Uttar Pradesh, India. The study period covered two seasons, winter and spring. We used the percentage time spent feeding on
each food item as an index of food selection, which we estimated from group scan data collected from one study group for 6
days each month. We estimated the selection ratio for each item as the ratio of time spent feeding to availability. We estimated
food availability from vegetation sampling and phenological data in the home range of the study group. We estimated crude
protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and tannins in mature and young leaves of 12 major food species in the laboratory.
Food selection is positively correlated with CP in winter and negatively correlated with ADF in both seasons. It also is correlated
with CPJADF ratio, but to a lesser extent than the best predictor in winter and spring. Selection ratio is not correlated
with CP and ADF in both seasons. It is probable that the inclusion of other factors, such as micronutrients,condensed tannins, and digestibility, might give a better prediction of food selection. 相似文献

1. Food selection experiments were conducted by acclimating calanoid copepods (Eudiaptomus spp.) in suspensions of natural seston and then adding pairs of dual-labelled (14C/32P) algae. Each feeding trial measured selectivity between a small, high-quality reference alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardii, and a test alga that differed in size and/or food quality. The influence of food concentration on food selection was tested by using seston from two lakes with contrasting food abundance and by including treatments with filtered lake water ('starved’) and seston diluted with filtered water or enriched with cultured algae. 2. Copepods that had been starved or acclimated to natural seston with low food abundance preferred the larger of two labelled algae, regardless of the nutritional quality of the algae. In agreement with the predictions of an optimal diet model, however, copepods that were acclimated to high food conditions discriminated against low-quality foods, including digestion-resistant algae and dead algae. 3. Selectivity coefficients showed excellent agreement with a previous study involving the same taxa of copepods and labelled algae but in which the copepods had been acclimated to pairs of cultured algae rather than natural seston. Thus, these comparisons emphasize the importance of food availability in modulating copepod selectivity for foods that differ in nutritional quality and suggest that such behaviour occurs in nature. 相似文献

Regurgitated pellets and food remains were collected near nest sites, and from a club site, of south polar skuas Catharacta maccormicki in the eastern Larsemann Hills, Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica, during the skuas' presence in the area. The samples indicated that the snow petrel Pagodroma nivea, the most abundant seabird species breeding locally, formed the major dietary component, comprising some 66% of food items identified in pellets and 80% of the food remains obtained. Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae (which do not breed in the Larsemann Hills), other seabirds, fish and marine foods were rarely found as remains or in pellets. However, refuse (meat, fish and vegetable remains) taken as food by skuas from nearby stations occurred in pellets at all sites and formed about 12% of the food remains collected and identified. In this study, foods taken by skuas were related both to the local breeding distribution of snow petrels, and to the possession of a feeding territory. Birds without feeding territories took somewhat fewer snow petrels and included more refuse from local stations in their diet, as did those at the club site. Future monitoring of the influence of anthropogenic foods (and inedible waste materials) on the species' ecology is considered important. 相似文献

Synopsis Disease-free blue tilapia,Oreochromis aureus, exposed to cadmium (0.5 ppm and 10 ppm) showed very significant and dramatic decrease in food consumptions. Food consumptions
returned to near normal 21 days after fish were returned to cadmium-free water. Along with anorexia there were decreases in
body weights during the period when fish were exposed to cadmium. Fish in cadmium-free water that were pair-fed to cadmium-exposed
fish (0.5 ppm) did not gain weight but there were no decreases in body weights. Cadmium was still in tissues 34 days after
the fish were placed in cadmium-free water and the accumulation was highest in the kidney; this was followed by liver, brain,
gill filaments and muscles. The accumulations of the heavy metal (in kidneys and gills) were significantly higher in fish
exposed to high than low cadmium levels. There were no differences in complement levels (haemolytic acitivity) in cadmium-exposed
and cadmium-free fish. However, cadmium-exposed fish did not produce detectable haemagglutinating antibodies against sheep
red blood cells while cadmium-free fish responded well to the antigen. The anorexia in cadmium-exposed fish contributed to
the depression in antibody production. 相似文献

Oxygen consumption (VO2) of juvenile Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) was investigated at low tempera tures (six temperatures; range -0.5 to 2.7°C). Small (mean wt. 6–8 g) and large (mean wt. 14 g) fish were acclimated, or adjusted to a constant temperature (0.4°C), for 5 months and then tested for metabolic cold adaptation (elevated metabolic rates in polar fishes). Short-term (2 weeks) acclimated fish showed elevated VO2 similar to previously established values for polar fishes, but there was no such evidence after longterm acclimation. Long-term acclimation caused VO2 values to drop significantly (from 86.0 to 46.5 mg O2·kg–1·h–1, at 0.4°C), which showed that metabolic cold adaptation was a phenomenon caused by insufficien: acclimation time for fish in respiration experiments. We also measured the effects of temperature and feeding on VO2. A temperature increase of 2.3°C resulted in relatively large increases in VO2 for both longand short-term acclimated fish (Q10 = 6.7 and 7.1, respectively), which suggests that metabolic processes are strongly influenced by temperature when it is close to zero. Feeding individuals to satiation caused significant increases in VO2 above pre-fed values (34–60% within 1–2 days after feeding). Respiration budgets of starved and fed Arctic cod at ambient temperatures in Resolute Bay N.W.T., Canada, were used to model annual respiration costs and potential weight loss. Low respiration costs for Arctic cod at ambient temperatures result in high growth efficiency during periods of feeding and low weight loss during periods of starvation. 相似文献

Laboratory studies on food intake, growth and food conversion of young herring, Clupea harengus (L.)
Food intake, growth and food conversion of young, O-group herring were studied at two temperatures and feeding regimes over a period of 19 weeks. The food intake of fish fed to satiation twice daily showed considerable variation. Food intake per fish at 14.5° C was about three times that at 6.5° C, and was generally much higher than in most other species of fish studied. The mean increase in wet weight over the 19-week period was 0.581 g/week at 14.5° C and 0.236 g/week at 6.5° C in fish fed to satiation and 0.094 g/week at 6.2° C and a ration of 1.3% of the body weight. Growth depensation was found to occur even in fish fed to satiation. The changes in specific growth rate, that is the percentage increase in weight/day, showed similar trends at different temperatures and food regimes. The mean conversion efficiency of fish on a ration of 1.3% at 6.2° C was higher than that of fish fed until satiation, at 14.5 and 6.5° C. The conversion efficiency of fish fed to satiation at 14.5° C showed a distinct decrease with increasing weight while at 6.5° C such a clear trend was not observed. In general, the conversion efficiency of young herring were found to be much lower than that of most other species studied. The weight exponent of the quantitative relationship between food intake and body weight at 14.5° C was 0.744. The total metabolic expenditure at 14.5° C, calculated using Winberg's (1956) 'utilization coefficient, gave a weight exponent of 0.773. 相似文献
